"Politically motivated sentiment" all beauty is politically motivated

Russian and Arabic are the two nicest sounding languages ever invented

Highest approval since 2006! 68% approval for Russians aged 18-24 and even 62% for middle aged Russians. Absolutely crazy

This is crazy though

210 billion in military aid for the sake of what? Drawing out a losing war?? Draining Ukraine to the last drop of blood to punish Russia?? NATO pushed for this war every day from 2013 onwards and finally got what they wanted when Russia pulled the trigger, refused to allow peace since. What's even the goal now? When does it end? Ukraine isn't winning this war, they were never winning this war in spite of early RAF incompetence, it's nothing but a blood ritual

US sends over billions and billions more and Ukraine passes their deeply unpopular mobilization law. Paying to throw more young men to their deaths for the sake of NATO's pride and "strategic goals"

Forcing myself to eat 3 square meals by looking in the mirror and going tch... a true Striking Scorpion never misses a meal.... Khaine needs every calorie I can afford...

The 40K space elves especially which live for tens of thousands of years if left alone and change gender to suit whatever role they occupy in society and generally have accesses to magical surgery are like Ouroboros Super Circumgender Gender-fluid

Reading Aeldari books and in my mind when they're like oh the Autarch was so strong and masculine and chiseled what they really mean is the way Mithrun is Lycion are like strong and masc by elf standards but look like That

I need Ryoko Kui to storm games workshop headquarters and lecture them on how they have the right idea but fall short of the mark on nonexistent elf sexual dimorphism universal androgynous beauty. Her gender swap drawings of the canaries where they're literally identical with one or two changes is revolutionary

The thing about elves is that if you're smart enough almost every single one of them can occupy overlapping or seemingly contradictory angles of transgenderism on account of "androgyny" and "being really old"

I think for the next kill team narrative campaign season I'll be blades of Khaine as some Craftworld Ecoleg aspect warriors whose job is straight up just going to imperial worlds in small strike squads and doing ecoterrorism and industrial sabotage and I'll call them the Eco Warriors

POV you just threw your empty can in the trash instead of the clearly marked aluminum recycling bin

Craftworld Ecoleg is half me venting preteen nostalgia for the late 2000s and its tech and aesthetics (IE "frutiger aero") and half an expression of my fascination w The era of American history (my childhood) where belief in climate change was widespread & believed to be something we can all work together to fix if we plant trees and recycle and eat plants and time showers. And putting all that into some space elves to make the funniest possible recipe for Wood Elves In Space

On Craftworld Ecoleg-Yfory, Earth Day is a nationalist military holiday that signals the beginning of the War Season with a day-long ceremony where every warrior of each warhost plants a tree in the massive Field of Khaine, one for each season they've gone to war. On death, each tree is uprooted, and re-planted on any of the craftworld's conquered and re-natured forest-planets, as designated in that Asuryani's will

The lonely industrial laborer frees his mind at work

Which involves setting up a machine, then putting 2 varyingly heavy kegs on top the mounts then activating the machine and waiting for 300 seconds as it goes through the cycles of washing, taking them off, putting them on a palette, and repeating the cycle from step 2. Easy work but I have to do this like 50 times, maybe more. So I'm listening to more the volgun scp read offs

Washing kegs all day today

More games should slow roll you. I'm tired of having my intelligence questioned by ADHD ass game design that clamors for my attention within seconds of arrival. I want to ease into things. I want slow setup
